Summary: The Demille storycraft roller-coaster goes on...
Review: Nelson Demille has come through again with an eclectic mixture of the writing elements that make him so endearingly readable. Likeable (and understandable) hero, ironic wordplay and plot twists, and a complicated enough story that will have you smacking your forehead while exclaiming "Of Course" at the end. It is always a pleasure to go along with Demille as he untangles the web he weaves...This was a true page-turner. This easily ranks up with some of his other excellent works, such as General's Daughter, Talbot Odyssey, Charm School, Word of Honor, and Cathedral. I read all of his work and regularly recommend him to friends...This is ceratinly one I'll mention by name!

Summary: I wish I was always right
Review: Books where the main character always seems to know what's going on while other characters stand around clueless always irritate me. This is exactly one of those books.While the writing is good, and the storyline an interesting premise, Demille's characters are just too unbelievable. His main detective questions everything (and is always right) and everybody else kind of just takes a back seat. The villain is fleshed out nicely until the end where we get the cliche maniac, and the book is probably 75 pages too long. This is the first book I have read by this author and I can't say this title made me want to try another one.

Summary: this book is more than addictive
Review: plum island is definetly one of the best books ive read. i liked everything about it. the characters and surprises were the most entertaining, not to mention the actual mystery itself. if you are debating between two books, then just put the other one in the back of your mind for next time.

Summary: Read C School and Gen Daughter before thinking of Plum Isld!
Review: What a let down after Charm School and General's Daughter. Characters forgotten and not to mention plot forgotten, I was left wondering where or what happened to 3 or 4 characters. This was definitely a weak effort.

Summary: Demille is running out of steam
Review: Following the fantastic The Generals Daughter and The Charm School this book is a big bust. The main detective is annoying with his wise guy attitude and the finale is totally unbelievable. A good one to skip.

Summary: Predictable
Review: This book was a disapointment. I just read "Mayday" which was exciting and terrifying. But this? I liked the jargong of the antihero. But why has always, always, the girl/woman who are sexually free - have to die? And why does the hero always have to end up with the "good cop". This book is filled with good dialouge and good craftmanship. But the sexual frustration and predictable social storyline let the whole concept down to only two stars.

Summary: Excellent! A beautifully written roller coaster thriller!
Review: I was more than a little impresed with the novel, it was well written, funny, insightful and although the protagonist is a self proclaimed chaulvanist, he is endearing and irritating at the same time. The plot twists and turns until you realize that you are reading an entirely different book ultimately then you thought you were. I'm hooked on DeMille now, he has a certain self awareness into the male psyche that is both enlightening (to women) and amusing. Read it, you will enjoy!

Summary: One great "yarn."
Review: A wonderful story, unforgettable characters and great suspense. The boat chase at the end went a bit "overboard" but otherwise this was a great read. DeMille does it again! Cast: Mel Gibson, Rene Russo, Susan Sarandon as the delicious Emma, and Jeremy Irons of course.

Summary: Great vacation book.
Review: This book is much different than your generic murder thriller. It is written with quite a lot of wit. This is a somewhat comical, very relaxing, yet suspenseful story ----- perfect for a reading on a vacation.
